[Ding! Treatment successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained...]

Just as Chiba was still babbling on and on, and the three little ones were nodding in agreement, the system notification suddenly sounded, leaving Chiba completely stunned.

Psychotherapy is a long-term process, and Chiba is prepared for a protracted battle...

This is nothing! How could it possibly be a successful treatment already?!

Chiba quickly clicked on the system notification.

After carefully reviewing the details, Chiba realized that the person who had given him the reward was not the three little ones, but Maruhoshi Kosuke!

Chiba turned around in a flash of realization and saw Kosuke leaning against the corner of the wall, listening intently. He was already in tears.

Saving Nawaki during the last battle actually helped Kosuke resolve his inner conflict.

Now, after Chiba's guidance, Kosuke has finally chosen to let go and reconcile with his past self.

"It seems that in the system's view, treating others' psychological trauma is considered a form of 'saving lives and healing the wounded,' and this method really works!"

Chiba's eyes were frighteningly bright.

For successfully saving Kosuke, the reward he received was a "new chakra attribute: water"!

"This proves that my previous guess was correct. Through the system, I can gradually complete my chakra attributes and even comprehend the power of the Bloodline Limit!"

In Chiba's opinion, this reward was even more generous than the reward he received for saving Jiraiya.

"Does this mean that because psychotherapy requires a long period of time, the corresponding rewards will be of higher quality?"

Chiba had a vague idea in his mind, and his gaze toward Nagato and the others became even more ardent.

These three little guys will all become big names in Naruto in the future. If he can heal their psychological trauma, what a generous reward he will receive.

Is it Yahiko's wind attribute?

Konan's Paper Dance?

Or perhaps... Nagato's Rinnegan?!

Chapter 23 Nagato Goes Berserk, Battlefield Upheaval

"Hmm, there shouldn't be any Zetsu around here..."

Chiba withdrew his finger from the ground, thinking to himself with some uncertainty.

Although Chiba has a very keen sense of chakra, the Black and White Zetsu's "Spore Technique" is very well concealed, and he cannot guarantee 100% certainty.

Another week has passed.

The three little ones trained with Kosuke and Nawaki during the day, and studied psychology and received ideological education with Chiba at night.

Perhaps years later, when "Uchiha Madara" comes after Nagato once again.

The other party will be completely dumbfounded to find that Nagato has become a staunchly loyal red warrior, and no matter how he tries to persuade him, Nagato remains unmoved.

"Just thinking about it is hilarious," Chiba said with a wicked grin.

After each day's psychological training session, Konan would come to Chiba's room alone to learn medical ninjutsu from him.

This child's thirst for knowledge is just too strong...

"Alright, Xiao Nan, let's call it a day."

Looking at the pleading look on Minami's face, Chiba wearily refused. He was really tired and just wanted to lie down and sleep!

"Oh, Chiba-nii-san~~ please just do me a favor~~"

Xiao Nan grabbed Chiba's arm and snuggled against him, acting all cute.

Previously, she, Nagato, and Yahiko lived a precarious life. Now that she finally had the opportunity to learn and change their fate, she was naturally eager to learn.

"You're still too young, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle the knowledge that follows," Chiba said with a hint of helplessness.

"Hmph, Xiao Nan isn't little anymore, Brother Chiba, just let Xiao Nan give it a try!" Xiao Nan said, blinking her big eyes.

"Okay, okay, sigh, I just can't do anything with you..."

Chiba let out a long sigh. He knew he would probably have to stay up all night again.

……

Another day.

After instructing the three little ones, Kosuke went to fish by the river not far away.

Nawaki stayed home with Chiba, watching him provide psychological counseling to the three little ones, and secretly memorized some of the guidance methods, planning to try them out on Tsunade when he got back.

"After all, my older sister is so irritable all the time. Who would believe she doesn't have some kind of mental illness?" Rope Tree thought to himself.

“Alright, let’s move on to the next step,” Chiba said softly.

"Try to recall those painful memories again, identify the negative beliefs and emotions within them, and follow my finger to do eye movements."

This time, Chiba adopted eye movement desensitization therapy in a gradual manner.

Chiba felt a surge of secret joy as he watched the three little ones meditating earnestly, following his guidance.

So far, the treatment is progressing very smoothly, and at this rate, he will soon be able to receive his reward from the three of them.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

"Uhhhhhhhhhh!"

Nagato's calm face suddenly contorted, and he uncontrollably clutched his head and roared.

"Nani?!"

Chiba's pupils suddenly contracted. He hadn't expected that after so many rounds of psychological counseling, Nagato's emotions would still instantly break through the threshold and he was about to go berserk!

Ding~!

Almost instantly, the red hair that had been covering half of Nagato's face suddenly flew up, revealing a pair of purple eyes that exuded madness!

"Oh no, everyone hurry...!"

Before Chiba could even warn everyone, the next instant, accompanied by Nagato's constipated roar, an astonishing repulsive force suddenly spread out from Nagato's center!

boom!

Like a detonation tag exploding right next to someone's face, the terrifying impact swept past, and Chiba and the others were instantly thrown back, flying out from the shattered wooden hut and crashing heavily into the distance.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

Chiba forcefully suppressed the surging chakra within his body, his fingers flying as he quickly formed two hand seals in the air, unleashing the Water Release technique he had stolen from Kosuke.

Wow~

A circular wall of water rose up instantly, enveloping the four people. The gentle flow of water supported their falling bodies and helped them slowly land on the ground.

"Those eyes! Chiba, did you see those eyes just now?!"

As soon as they landed, Nawaki grabbed Chiba's shoulder and let out a strange, monkey-like cry.

"Purple, it's purple! And it's in concentric circles!"

For so long, Nagato had always appeared with bangs, and this was the first time Nawaki had seen Nagato's eyes, so it was no wonder he was shocked.

"Nagato, are you alright?!"

After landing, Konan and Yahiko disregarded everything else and rushed towards Nagato, who was kneeling in the ruins of the wooden house, his face contorted in pain.

Chiba and Nawaki exchanged a glance and walked towards Nagato, but the shock on Nawaki's face had not yet subsided.

"What was that power just now? Was it a pupil technique...? No, how could there be such a terrifying pupil technique?!" Nawaki muttered to himself.

"I'm sorry, I lost control again and almost hurt everyone. I'm so sorry..."

Nagato lowered his head, his bangs once again obscuring his eyes, and apologized to everyone with a guilty expression.

"Why apologize, Nagato? This is a good thing!"

Just then, a hand landed on Nagato's shoulder, and the gentle words stunned Nagato.

"Good...good news?"

Nagato looked up in confusion, only to see Chiba watching him with a smile.

"Yes, it's a good thing."

Chiba nodded, plopped down next to Nagato, and put his arm around Nagato's shoulder.

"Human emotions are like a great river. Controlling one's emotions is like managing the river. It's better to dredge than to block. The more you suppress them, the more likely problems will arise."

"What we need to do is build a dam in this river to ensure that we are no longer overwhelmed by our emotions, to let this river flow steadily, and to let our emotions be under our control."

The three kids, including Nagato, nodded repeatedly as they listened, while Nawaki, standing to the side, curled his lip, thinking to himself that Chiba was really good at fooling children.

"Emotions contain immense power. Remember the feeling of anger you just felt, Nagato. Don't be afraid of it, but try to control it and make it work for you."

"When you can control your anger, that amazing power you just felt will become a powerful weapon to protect your companions."

As he spoke, Chiba patted Nagato on the shoulder, then pointed to the three people beside him, and said earnestly.

"Don't feel guilty, Nagato. Look, no one blames you. On the contrary, they are extremely worried about you and trust you completely. We all believe you can do it!"

"Everyone..."

Nagato's nose tingled with emotion.

He raised his head and slowly swept his gaze over the three of them, finding that, just as Chiba had said, there was only worry on their faces, not a trace of fear or blame.

"Keep up the good work, Nagato. I have high hopes for you."

Chiba patted Nagato on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Only those who have experienced pain can treat others kindly. Understanding pain leads to maturity and allows us to better protect others."

"Okay, I understand, Chiba-nii!"

Nagato nodded heavily. Under Chiba's persuasive words, he quickly adjusted his mental state and even became more optimistic than before his rampage.

"call……"

Seeing this, Chiba secretly breathed a sigh of relief and secretly wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.

"Being a psychologist in this world is really dangerous. You have to deal with raging kids all the time, and you could easily die in the line of duty," Chiba thought to himself.

Sitting next to Nagato just now, he was under a lot of pressure. He was really afraid that Chao-ge would suddenly unleash a Shinra Tensei on him!
